Recenzii

"Dientsbier's work on physiological toughness has been seminal. This well-written, informative and, at times, humorous book complements those of Sapolsky and McEwen - a must read for those interested in resilience." - Jim Blascovich, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
'Stress in our lives has a bad reputation. But the author marshals a vast amount of research literature to demonstrate that we can grow and become tougher from stress, with a resulting increase in our physical and mental capacities. This readable and highly informative book covers topics all the way from genetic, cellular, and endocrine functioning to helpful discussions of the popular literature on diet, exercise, meditation, mindfulness, and other lifestyle changes we can all make as we meet the challenges of our daily living.' John W. Reich, Arizona State University, USA

Notă biografică

Richard A Dienstbier is Professor Emeritus and past Chair of the Psychology Department of the University of Nebraska, USA. For 24 years he was the Series Editor of the annual Nebraska Symposium on Motivation. His earlier papers and lectures defined toughness, but by emphasizing toughening impacts on the brain, this book updates and extends the concept.
